Myoelectric Fatigue and Motor-Unit Firing Patterns During Sinusoidal Vibration Superimposed on Low-Intensity Isometric Contraction

Myoelectric Fatigue and Motor-Unit Firing Patterns During Sinusoidal Vibration Superimposed on Low-Intensity Isometric Contraction 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Vibration exercise (VE) has shown promising results for improving muscle strength and power performance when superimposed on high-level muscle contraction. However, low-level contraction may be more preferable in many rehabilitation… read more

Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations

Author(s)3: Marco D'Alonzo, Francesco Clemente, Christian Cipriani
Vibrotactile Stimulation Promotes Embodiment of an Alien Hand in Amputees With Phantom Sensations 556 235 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract Tactile feedback is essential to intuitive control and to promote the sense of self-attribution of a prosthetic limb. Recent findings showed that amputees can be tricked to experience this embodiment, when synchronous…
